    Hi @frood sorry to read about your situation. 
    You have to do what's right for you. If your health is getting in the way of your work, then maybe it's not wise to work. I'm presuming you have spoke to your girlfriend about the difficulties you have. 
    Definitely don't cut your wrists. I'm shocked she would suggest that. If your not happy any more with your girlfriend, maybe a separation to give you time to clear things in your mind.

    @frood ... I'm really sorry to read this mate.  
    Please reach out to help others have pointed you towards.

    There is also https://mankind.org.uk/ << ManKind Iniative.  They deal with domestic violence, which you are going through.  If only mentally from your post ... but still as destructive

    My first wife was very much like this, plus the jealousy ... I couldn't even talk to a female shop worker without getting attacked when we got home.  Cars smashed up etc

    Please reach out now for help for you both before it escalates. 
    You are worth a lot more than being treated like this.  Especially as from another post of yours, that you are getting out there to provide for you both and a better life.

    Please don't suffer in silence and keep reaching out here ... my PM is always open if you need to sound off

    Look after yourself buddy

    Hi @frood, firstly I want you to know that you're not alone, I know many other members have echoed this statement which is encouraging to see.

    Please don't resort to cutting your wrists. Please get access to the help and support that you need, which Scope is happy to support with. 

    Relationships are difficult and require a lot of work and this can be mentally quite draining. I know this from my own experiences. 

    Changing your medication requirements will put you potentially in danger - please seek advice from your doctor first before doing this. 

    I sincerely hope that you are getting some support.

    Kind Regards
